8. Nope!

I was on the ground with a very, very long telephoto lens.

5. I can see why

It's the life dream of some people to pilot one of these incredible "flying machines."

You captured the "awesomeness," Grump. Thank you for sharing with us. I always look forward to checking your photos out on late nights at DU.

I don't know if it was really orange. It might just be the way the light was hitting it.
